Ordering and payment of fees
The completed application form must be accompanied by the appropriate fees and/or employer’s authorisation if relevant and a £100 deposit. If these conditions are not met we reserve the right to not process the enrolment further.
Apprenticeship funding (from the LSC)
Funding may be available to persons who are not educated to degree level. In order to claim funding you must be employed and working at least 30 hours per week. If you work less than 30 hours we may still be able to get funding for you so please discuss this with us prior to enrolment. In order to get funding, your employer’s support will be required so please ask them to complete the Employer’s Authorisation form. Funding eligibility criteria are increasingly complicated so please discuss this with us.
If you are enrolling for Level 2 (Foundation) the funding will fully cover the course fees, however for 19-24 and 25+ funding a £50 + VAT enrolment fee will be charged. At levels 3 (Intermediate) and 4 (Technician) a top up fee of £600 + VAT will be payable if you are aged 19 or over.
Train to Gain Funding (from the LSC)
In order to claim funding you must be employed, aged 19+, working at least 30 hours per week and not already accessing funding from another provider for the same course. Your employer’s support will be required so please ask them to complete the Employer’s Authorisation form
The funding will cover the cost of the course feed if you are enrolling for Level 2 (Foundation). If you are enrolling for Level 3 (Intermediate) and do not already have a level 2 qualification or equivalent, the funding will cover the cost of the course fees. If you do have a level 2 qualification a £50 + VAT enrolment fee will be charged.
Learner Responsiveness Funding
Funding may be available to persons attending classes (i.e. not distance learning). The training will be provided by A+ for all the AAT courses, and course funding will be supplied by City College Plymouth (CCP). These courses will be monitored by CCP, with access to CCP premises being available to the learner, if required. If you are currently registered unemployed, the funding will cover the cost of the course fees. If you are employed and enrolling for Levels 2, 3, or 4 (Foundation, Intermediate, or Technician), a top up fee of £600 + VAT will be payable.
Please be aware funding cannot be guaranteed as funds are extremely limited.
Training period
A+ will undertake to supply all elements of the course for which you have enrolled for a period of 18 months from the date of your enrolment. A+ reserve the right to charge for any provision made after the 18 months have expired.
Payable separately
Please note that the examination fees and membership fees are payable separately direct to the AAT.
Registration with the AAT
Please note that it is your responsibility to register as a student with the AAT and to enter for the exams.
Cancellations
Once enrolment has taken place, cancellations are not allowed and no refunds will be given. This programme is non-transferable.
VAT
VAT is charged at 17.5% on course fees and at 0% for manuals.
Reporting of skills tests
Skills test results will be reported to the AAT on completion of the accounting portfolio. These results cannot be reported if the membership fees have not been paid to the AAT.
Moodle Authorisation
The Moodle Virtual Learning Environment is a platform that allows us to make available to our learners all course material currently issued in hard copy format throughout the duration of their learning programme. Question banks can also be built up and presented, for example, in a multiple choice format. This allows learners to test their knowledge as they acquire it, or at a later date. Practice makes perfect!
Moodle has a tracking facility that allows us to monitor your usage of the system and the results of any on-line tests that you perform through Moodle. It is important that we are able to do this to allow us to give you appropriate support during the programme. It is therefore a requirement of granting you access to the A+ Moodle that you grant us permission to perform these monitoring activities.
Payment of fees
The learner/employer agrees:
- To be responsible for the payment fees as shown on the enrolment form, including top up fees where applicable.
- To pay fees on enrolment (or by invoice or standing order by prior agreement with A+).
- To pay invoiced fees within 30 days of enrolment or by standing order over 6 months, starting within 30 days of enrolment and to pay a non-refundable deposit of £100.00*.
- That the fees remain payable, whether or not the learner attends regularly.
- That A+ Training reserve the right to discontinue the course in the event of unsatisfactory work, bad attendance and / or bad behaviour (In these circumstances fees remain payable in full).
*A £30 administration charge will be added to all invoices paid by standing order.
